PRODUCT OVTRVITW Description The HR-E high resolution encoder is a fully potted, eight-wheel absolute encoder. The encoder with glass lens is available factory pre-wired to Badger Meter AMR/AMI products, or may be spliced to other devices following the instructions. This version is permanently sealed to eliminate the intrusion of moisture, dirt, or other contaminants, and is suitable for installation in all environments, including meter pits subject to continuous submergence. The encoder with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing of the register's internal elements, but does not provide a moisture resistant enclosure. Therefore, it is suitable for indoor installation in a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal screw cover. Compatibility The encoder is designed for use with all current Badger Meter Recordall Disc, Turbo Series, Compound Series, Combo Series and Fire Service meters and assemblies. Each HR-E is clearly identified on the face of the dial with an assembly number, unit of measure and meter model. The HR-E provides connectivity with Badger Meter ORION and GALAXY AMR/AMI endpoints, BadgerTouch modules and other AMR/AMI technology solutions approved by Badger Meter. CONNTCTING AN TNCODTR TO AN TNDPOINT THE HR-E HIGH RESOLUTION ENCODER SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED TO A PRODUCT APPROVED BY BADGER METER. CONNECTION TO AN UNAPPROVED PRODUCT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Badger Meter encoders have a factory installed three-conductor cable (brown) for connection to the endpoint. If the wire is cut or broken and requires a field splice after the initial installation, connect like-color wires to maintain proper installation. Badger Meter wiring standards use the black wire as the negative () conductor and the red as the positive (+) conductor. Before proceeding with the installation, be certain that the meter type and size correspond, and that the proper encoder configuration has been supplied for the application. TNC-UM-00237-TN-02 (August 2016) Installation Data HR-E High Resolution Encoder Wire Connections The encoder is available with an in-line connector for easy connection and installation to AMR/AMI endpoints. It is also available with a flying lead for field splice connection, or fully prewired to an AMR/AMI endpoint. Splicing Considerations Splice connections made in pit environments require a pit field splice kit (62084-001), which can be ordered separately. See the Field Splice Kit Installation Instructions available on our website. ORION endpoints shipped factory pre-wired to a Badger Meter encoder require no splicing. All you do is mount the encoder to the meter and tighten the seal screw. HR-T WITH TTRMINAL SCRTWS The HR-E with terminal screws features the same permanent sealing of the encoders internal elements, but does not provide a moisture resistant enclosure. Therefore, the HR-E with optional terminal screw is suitable for indoor installation in a dry environment only, and is marked as such on the terminal screw cover. The terminal screws are identified by the letters R, B, and G

(standing for Red, Black and Green) molded into the screw cavity. 1. Strip approximately 1-1/2 inch of outer insulation sheath from the endpoint wire, or other supplied wire, using a coax stripping tool. Take care not to damage the inner wire insulation. 2. Unwind the outer foil shield from the cable and cut it off even with the outer sheath using the wire cutting pliers. 3. Cut the uninsulated shield drain wire even with the outer sheath. 4. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the inner wires using the wire stripper. 5. Use a screwdriver to loosen the encoder terminal screws sufficiently to allow the bare wire ends to fit below the screw heads. 6. Bend the bare wire ends into hook shapes that will closely fit around the shafts of the terminal screws, and hold the hooks around the screw shafts while tightening the screws with the screwdriver. Do not overtighten screws. The hooks should be oriented with the openings to the right, so that tightening the screws (by turning to the right) will tend to draw the wire closer to the screw. 7. Place a plastic cable tie approximately 1/4 inch from the end of the outer insulation sheath. Tighten securely for strain relief. Remove excess cable tie. 8. Make sure that the cable exits the terminal screw cavity via the opening on the right side of the cavity wall and that cable tie resides on the interior of terminal cover. 9. Place the cover over the terminal screw cavity and secure by tightening the seal screw. TTSTING After all connections are complete, test the entire installation including the encoder, the wiring and the endpoint for proper operation in accordance with the instructions supplied with the endpoint. INSTALLING THT HR-T Bayonet Mount The bayonet mount positions the encoder in any of four orientations for visual reading convenience. The encoder can be removed from the meter without disrupting water service. Install the encoder on the water meter and secure it using the tamper-proof screw provided.

*Note: ______(Insert Explanation as Necessary)______ _____Badger Meter, Inc.______ has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to

"competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality:

The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality:

The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of ___(specify number of days not to exceed 180)___ days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. 1 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ELITE ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, INC. in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. ELITE ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, INC. will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications:

The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC. Sincerely, By:
